the continuation of this story is that many cultures are undergoing self-styled regenerative processes. Sure, it'll never be the same as it was before they 'lost' / were forced to give up what the West devalued. Nevertheless, culture is always grappling with the primordial question of continuity and change. innumerable native cultures have welcomed some changes wholeheartedly. the problem is the violence, brutality, and greed of Westernization

i love his use of language!..probably the most intelligent presentation i have seen on youtube.
saving the Rain Forest & empowering indigenous cultures has never been easier, we simply need to vote with our dollars because our governments are busy subsidizing industries that massacre these peoples and the Amazon for the triple bottom line!
